Border Weather - Looking ahead

A good start to the weekend (Kelso JOHN TURNBULL) but an unsettled finish Photo:

Bank Holiday Monday is a transitional day, leading to slightly more unsettled conditions for the rest of this week.

A Northwest/southeast split develops across the UK with southern and eastern counties holding on to drier, clearer and warmer conditions for longer.

The further north and west you are the higher risk of thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain and stronger winds. These conditions will slowly make their way east by the end of Monday.

As we head further into the week high pressure will by this time have slipped away into the continent, allowing low pressure to edge in closer from the Atlantic. The west wins, bringing a more unsettled feed of sunshine & showers or longer spells of rain over the coming few days. Breezy conditions at times most places frost free.

Here's your Border forecast for the next few days.....

SUNDAY NIGHT:

Becoming drier across most parts with the cloud also slowly breaking up, with some clear spells possible across The Borders. Quite a mild night with light southerly winds inland. Lows around 7-8°C.

MONDAY:

A dry start with some hazy brightness, mainly in the east. Rain and thicker cloud returning to western coasts by afternoon. Southerly winds also strengthening in the west, gusts to 40mph. Fairly warm in any sunshine 15 °C.

OUTLOOK:

Mainly dry Tuesday with bright or sunny spells and isolated showers. Unsettled on Wednesday with showers or outbreaks of rain. Thursday again showery but some drier interludes, particularly in east. rain from the southwest threatens by dusk.
